“Blockbuster” Mbappe made a perfect debut, Real Madrid won the European Super CupThe rookie Kylian Mbappe was selected by coach Ancelotti to start for Real Madrid from the start and in his debut for the new team he played with Vinicius and Rodrygo in attack, while Bellingham – Valverde – Tchouameni were the midfield trio.
Atalanta lost many important players for many reasons, so coach Gasperini accepted to rely on the individual brilliance of the Ademola Lookman – Charles De Ketelaere pair in attack while using a 3-4-1-2 formation with a large defense.
Despite being underestimated, Atalanta were undaunted and even hit the Real Madrid crossbar after a deflected shot from De Roon. Real Madrid missed a chance when Vinicius missed Carvajal’s pass in the 17th minute before Rodrygo’s shot hit the crossbar in the 45+1 minute.
Early in the second half, Pasalic almost opened the scoring for Atalanta but Courtois flew to block the header. When the next clear chance arose, Real Madrid scored. Vinicius broke down the left wing and crossed deep for Valverde to tap into the empty net.
The goal made the game much easier for Real, they missed a few more chances but still got a second goal through new signing Mbappe after a pass from Bellingham. At the end of the match, both teams had chances to score but no more goals were scored.
Winning 2-0, Real Madrid won the European Super Cup for the 6th time and set a record for the number of times they have won this trophy. The performance in Warsaw will help Real continue to be a candidate for the championship in every arena they participate in the 2024/25 season.
